Congrats Liooon! You did great.
Congratulation to her
Imma be honest I never heard of her before this and I’m super obsessed with the competitive format

You figured it out! That’s why it dominated the meta, it was the true champion
Because she’s Chinese. They generally have their own tournaments / leagues and don’t compete in stuff like Master Tours, Grandmasters etc.
2 NA, 2 EU and 2 APAC players in Global Finals were qualified through Grandmasters – Chinese players got through Gold Series, which is their own competitive league 🙂
Oh okay, btw Stonekeep is there a way I could help out on the site? I would love to write articles and I’ve noticed that you guys haven’t done card reviews since Rumble, is there a way I could be of assistance?
“you guys haven’t done card reviews since Rumble”
I did card reviews for Saviors of Uldum! 🙂 I’m also doing them for Descent of Dragons, but the first batch of cards was so big and I was really busy so it will be slightly delayed (but should be out tomorrow).
Thanks a lot for your offer, but we aren’t really looking anyone right now. We have enough writers. I really appreciate that you want to help, though! 🙂
Okay I’ll check out the reviews for Uldum and Dragons tomorrow. And sorry if I sounded a bit clingy, though if you need any help I’d be happy! Just didn’t know whether or not you needed help. Cool talking with you though!
Okay what cards are the reviews for? Obviously you guys can’t do every card but when I clicked on a lot of the cards I didn’t see the review of the card below the image and little bits of info
